Some Reminders about RE in the Early Years
A document published by the Archdiocese of Brisbane in 2007 provides a statement you might like to think about:
Classroom teaching/learning of religion in the early years
- views children as capable learners who bring diverse knowledge and experiences to their learning;
- provides learning opportunities through all of the sensory pathways;
- encourages active and play-based learning and provides problem-solving, decision making and strategic planning opportunities to enhance the cognitive development of early learners;
- acknowledges the role of parents and other adults as supporters of learning.
